Key Points

Raises federal funding for food-bank infrastructure grants to $25 million a year from 2026–2030, up from the prior $15 million.
Shifts grant money to flow through state agencies, which then pass funds along to support local food distribution work.
Tells grant makers to prefer Tribal, low-income, and remote communities, aiming help at places that are hardest to serve.
Broadens what grants can pay for, like cold storage, delivery vehicles, mobile and home delivery options, and outreach studies.
Requires a national USDA report on shortages in freezers/coolers and refrigerated trucks, backed by $1 million for the study.
